Let Go The Emptiness.

Birmingham, UKI know I am different.. because I know I am blessed..
It was on May 14th that while shifting my house, I had lost my iPhone which was a gift from my loved one. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, it just disappeared in 20 minutes after my last call from it. I had just lost hope. I knew it would never come back to me. I also started looking for new phones but being a student could never gather enough money.
First few days I was extremely upset with it and felt like I couldnât live without it. However, like always I read either The Secret, The Power or The Magic everyday, even if it’s just a page. I wrote my blessings everyday and practice visualisation when I meditated for few minutes daily. Although I was happy I still could not take my mind off it.
One day while sitting quietly, calming my mind down and listening to the flowing water outside my window, I realised that my craving for my old phone had bound me to the sorrow of losing it. If I just let it go I would make space for better things in my mind. I thought of all the things I had which were better than material. I decided to embrace only happiness in other parts of my life…I pledged to let it go…not the hope but just the emptiness I felt in its absence.
This is when things started happening. Almost three months after losing my phone in August, I suddenly decided to go and see my uncle who had been asking me to visit him for a long time. I stayed there for two days which happened to be the best days after a long time.. a holiday.. I made sure to write every detail I was grateful for since the time I left home till I came back. I felt like I was living a heavenly life, I indeed was. During this meet, I told him just casually about my lost phone and dropped the topic just there.
Next day when I was home after this wonderful time with him, he gave me a call. He said, “Did you just say you lost your phone? Some policeman called me saying that they found your phone and that they found my number in it.” I was speechless!!! How could it be!! It was 3 months and no one even knew my uncle! Neither was my simcard in that phone working..I blocked it.! Where did they get my uncleâs number!! There were only four UK numbers in that phone out of which one wasnât working, two others did not know about my phone and my uncle came to know only 12 hours before that policemanâs call!! How did the policeman happen to call only this particular number!! It wasnât confusing me. I knew the Universe answered it.
When I collected it I discovered that the Sergeant himself had kept it with himself since someone handed in, which never generally happens. The phone did not go to the lost and found section which normally happens and makes it difficult to get it back, and there wasnât a single scratch, not even on the screen of my phone and even the cover was just as it was. Imagine it was out there somewhere all this time, safe and secure!! (Everything was organised to deliver it to me.)
I knew why this happened, because I decided to detach myself from the sorrows, let go of the emptiness and the absence of it, never regretting to have not gathered enough money for a new phone, and further I decided to see all other good beyond the material happiness. I embraced all other possible happiness. Even after everything, I visualised my phone, felt happy and counted my blessings everyday.
All my life since 2009 has been a miracle given by The Secret, so remember if you lost something dear to you, just keep the hope and let go of the emptiness! The best is delivered to you when you make enough space.
